Chapter 905: She’s Different

The honey was sweet, but not greasy. Only the sweetness went all the way to the bottom of her heart.

Su Xiaolu ate it in small bites. She liked the sweet taste very much. She couldn’t help but close her eyes to feel the sweetness.

Chang Xian gradually regained consciousness. He had sensed it when he inhaled the medicine. He was nervous, terrified, and in despair. He didn’t want to faint, but it wasn’t up to him.

He suddenly woke up again. He was very vigilant and could move his body quickly. He also saw the person sitting by the bed.

Under the candlelight, the woman ate her honey and closed her eyes to smile sweetly.

Chang Xian looked at her beautiful face, but his heart sank.

Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile.

Su Xiaolu realized that Chang Xian was awake. She smiled sweetly. “You’re awake. I’m sorry to have used such a method to enter your house. I only came to take a look because I had a guess, but my guess is quite accurate, right?”

Su Xiaolu’s relaxed tone was as if she was asking Chang Xian if he had dinner tonight.

Chang Xian paused for a moment, not knowing how to react. He looked at Su Xiaolu warily, his mind filled with thoughts, but he could not think of a countermeasure.

This woman must be an expert. Could he succeed with his ability?

They hadn’t even met, and she suspected him. It was obvious how terrifying she was.

Before her, Lord Su had investigated countless times. He had come personally and did not find anything abnormal about him. However, this woman suspected him without even meeting him.

Chang Xian couldn’t help but wonder what he had done wrong. Was it because he hadn’t seen her?

If he had known that not meeting her would arouse her suspicion, he would not have hidden during the day.

Su Xiaolu chuckled.

Chang Xian looked at Su Xiaolu suspiciously, a little shocked. What was she laughing at?

“I heard from that uncle’s grandson that you want to buy the fruit mountain back, so you’re doing this to buy it back?”

Su Xiaolu asked curiously. She didn’t know what kind of person Chang Xian was in the eyes of others, but she found him interesting and a little cute.

“Yes.”

Chang Xian finally spoke. He had thought about many things. Every scenario had a fact that he could not escape. He was too weak. All his resistance was nothing in front of her.

She was so smart and powerful. She found the reason when she found him. The Su family also had power. He could not buy back this fruit mountain. Chang Xian deflated and closed his eyes to avoid looking at Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu did not mind that he was a man of few words. She turned around and asked, “What will you do after you buy it back? Your clansmen have long left this place. Some of them have even gone far away. They can’t come back.”

“If that merchant hadn’t used force, they wouldn’t have had to leave their hometown and my father wouldn’t have had to die with regrets.”

Chang Xian clenched his fists as they trembled slightly. He wasn’t a child. He naturally understood that even if he bought the fruit mountain back, he wouldn’t be able to return to the past. However, this was his father’s last wish. He would remember it as long as he lived.

With his broken body, he could not do anything to begin with. He relied on this thought to support him.

These were all the sorrows of a weak person. Naturally, this woman would not understand.

“I see that you have so much fruit honey. This large fruit mountain should earn a lot every year. How many taels do you have now?”

Su Xiaolu took another bite of honey and asked him.

“What’s the use of having money? I can’t buy it back at all. Madam Su is a business genius. Now that we’ve found the source of this matter, it’s even more impossible for you to sell them to me.”

Chang Xian’s lips were pale. There was only despair in his heart. He was already a cripple. His family had all passed away. He would never be able to buy back the fruit mountain. For the first time, he wanted to die. That was all. He would follow his family and never live alone again.

“Don’t be sad. I’ll talk to my sister-in-law. I’ll sell the fruit mountain to you, but I have a request.”

Su Xiaolu put down the jar and looked at Chang Xian seriously.

Chang Xian’s eyelashes fluttered. He opened his eyes, which were filled with curiosity and disbelief. Seeing Su Xiaolu smiling, he swallowed and said with difficulty, “What do you want?”

“Your ability. How did you do it? There are so many fruits, but why are they all rotten? How did you take away the essence? If you can rot all the fruits, can you make a fruit the best and sweetest? Can you concentrate all the essence in one place?”

Su Xiaolu asked curiously.

Chang Xian was stunned before shaking his head. “I don’t know. I’ve never tried it before. I did that last year, and my body was sick for a long time…”

“Then do you want to try?”

Su Xiaolu asked with a smile. She reached out and a water ball appeared in her hand. She smiled and said to Chang Xian, “Look, I can control water. Water is very strange, and so are my superpowers. We can’t live without water wherever we go, right?”

“There’s also metal, wood, fire, and earth. We see these things often.” Su Xiaolu spoke patiently to Chang Xian.

Chang Xian was still vigilant. He looked at Su Xiaolu’s kind expression and could not understand what she was doing and why she was telling him this.

After struggling for a while, Chang Xian asked in confusion, “Why? Why are you doing this?”

In his short 16 years of life, he had left a very bad impression on the influential people. He hated them.

In his understanding, they would do anything for their goals. Yuan Changqing was like that. No matter how the commoners resisted, the price of resisting would be that their families would be destroyed and their clansmen would leave their homes.

He had nothing now, so he did not understand why Su Xiaolu was so kind.

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Because I want to do this. I want you to be a good person. My name is Su Xiaolu. Have you heard of Guiyuan Academy? I actually want to recruit you to study there. Think about it. If you only want to buy the fruit mountain back and guard this mountain safely, I’ll fulfill your wish, but you have to promise not to use your ability to harm others in the future.”

Chang Xian’s eyes widened a lot. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He felt that Su Xiaolu was definitely playing with him. Some powerful people liked to do this. They played with people to make them believe them. Then, they laughed out loud and admired their dejected expressions.

Many influential people had disgusting ways of having fun. They built it on the pain of ordinary people.

Su Xiaolu did not mind his probing and suspicion. She still smiled magnanimously and said, “Then I’ll leave first. You can take your time to consider. I’ll look for you in two days.”

Chang Xian looked at Su Xiaolu and moved his lips, but in the end, he did not ask. He watched Su Xiaolu leave for a long time without moving. He no longer sensed anything. She had really left.

Chang Xian couldn’t help but wonder if she was different from those people or if she was just acting. He was at a loss. Without a direction, he didn’t know what to do..
